26-29 (29 Records)
A pollen column was examined from the Sarah Gulch site, 5DA1564, in central Colorado to provide information concerning the past environment. Control samples were collected from the modern ground surface on the ridge slope east of the excavations and from the modem Sarah Gulch floodplain. In addition, botanic samples were submitted for identification. This site contains a buried prehistoric cultural component that is believed to date to the Archaic Stage. Activities at the site are believed...
POLLEN ANALYSIS AND CHARCOAL IDENTIFICATION OF SAMPLES FROM SITE 48CR10499, CARBON COUNTY, WYOMING (2017)
Site 48CR10499, located in south-central Wyoming in the eastern portion of the Washakie Basin, is a hunter-gatherer open camp exhibiting evidence of two occupations, including one Early Archaic housepit. Component 2 yielded ten radiocarbon dates ranging from 5720 to 5180 BP, indicating an Opal Phase occupation. Component 1 comprises two distinct open camps dating to 1820 and 1530 BP. Two sediment samples collected from each of the two cultural components were examined for pollen to provide...
POLLEN, MACROFLORAL, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSIS FROM SITES 42KA7714 AND 42KA7715, KANE COUNTY, UTAH (2015)
Sites 42KA7714 and 42KA7715, Kane County, Utah, were documented during monitoring of Highway 89 construction in the Kanab Canyon vicinity (MOAC 13-307 project). An isolated basin-shaped hearth (42KA7714) provided a radiocarbon date of AD 970-1025. This basin yielded charcoal, fire-altered rock, and bone fragments, but no other artifacts (Hanna Romes, personal communication June 23, 2015). Macrofloral and pollen analysis was requested for two samples from Feature A, site 42KA7714. Located...
POLLEN, STARCH, PHYTOLITH, BOTANIC IDENTIFICATION, AND ORGANIC RESIDUE (FTIR) ANALYSES OF SAMPLES FROM THE LEVEE (12D363) AND KELLER (12D509) SITES, DEARBORN COUNTY, INDIANA (2010)
Six ceramic sherds from the Levee (12D363) and Keller (12D509) sites in Dearborn County, Indiana, were submitted for ceramic and organic residue analyses. Also submitted for phytolith, starch, and organic residue analyses were fill samples recovered from multiple layers of nine thermal features at the sites, including pit hearths and hearth dumps. Control samples associated with each feature also were examined for phytoliths and organic residues. In addition, charred parenchymous tissue samples...
